Lying 101

[tequila_squared]

"Welcome to Lying 101, the class where we talk about how lying is wrong and something you should never do," Lito said, casting a glance at the six-year-old currently seated behind his desk.

The six-year-old didn't look up from whatever he was drawing on a piece of paper, possibly because his English wasn't that good yet, but Capheus, watching over his shoulder and visible only to Lito, looked up to give Lito a 'laying it on a bit thick' look. Lito constantly thanked God for Capheus. Diego's sudden appearance at his door had freaked both him and Riley out, and emotional transference had resulted in them both being even more freaked out. Capheus had been a rock.

"That's right," Lito said firmly to any kids any of his students had brought along with them. "Lying is very bad and can even have legal consequences! So don't do it. Especially to your parents. Any questions? Also I have arts and crafts supplies, you can draw for the rest of class."

There were certainly a lot of stick figures in this drawing. "//Very good, Diego! And who are these people, hmm?//" From the hair on two of them he could conclude Diego had at least seen pictures of Amanita and Riley...

"//This is me, and you, and other Papa, and Mama, and this is Aunt Nomi and Aunt Amanita and Aunt Riley and Aunt Sun and Aunt Kala and Uncle Wolfgang and Uncle Capheus and Uncle Will.//" Loooooot of stick figures. Diego thrust the paper at Lito. "//It's for you!//"

"//Well, thank you very much,//" Lito said over Nomi's demands that he take a picture and send it to her so she could show Amanita how her hair of several years in the possible future had been rendered, because of course he was going to do that. "//I'll treasure it always,//" which was one hundred percent true. "//Don't you think such a work of art should be signed?//"

It was, he thought, a very good sign that they were all in the picture.

"//Oh, right!//" Diego hurried back to the desk to grab a crayon and carefully write 'DIEGO' in block letters on one of the few blank spaces left on the page. "//That's better!//"
